Family sharing does not work

I love procreate. I already have configured the family sharing configured and other apps can be shared but not the procreate app. On my daughter’s iPad it requires a payment again. I’ll be more happy if you can fix this.
Developer Response
Hey there - thank you for reaching out and leaving a review. Procreate is supported with Apple’s Family Sharing and we’re sad to hear this has been an issue. We recommend searching for Procreate within the Purchased section of App Store. To access it, open App Store > profile icon (top right) > My Apps, and here search for Procreate in All and Not on this iPad. Once you've found it, tap the little cloud icon next to it and wait for the app to download. If there is still an issue, try removing the troublesome Apple ID from the Family Sharing list and adding it back again. 🫶We hope this helps, but if there are still some problems accessing your app in Family Sharing it may be a good idea to contact Apple Support directly (support.apple.com). The have access to account information and may be better equipped to help further. 🙏
Love the app, just 1 thing bothers me
Pînë.exe
When it comes to drawing, the app is just perfect- all the tools, brushes and options! 10/10! But, as an animator, I would really be glad if you add the option of importing sound into animations or just simply recording it, since it is a lot harder to lip sign or just have the movement as the exact time as the sound/music. Thank you very much, if you add that, the app will be perfect! To the team: amazing job!
Developer Response
Hey Pînë.exe! Thanks so much. 😊 It is something that is very frequently requested so we are keeping it in mind.
Wonderful
NyxieG.
I was very sceptical about buying the app at first, because I was unsure if it would do the job I wanted to. But after using it a few days, I’ll just say that it is a wonderful app. The controls are easy to use, the whole drawing process is very smooth.
Developer Response
Hi NyxieG - It's great to hear that you're enjoying your creative process in Procreate. Thanks a lot for the superb review!
OK. We went too far. This update sharpens the corners of your Gallery thumbnails. It also calms down the height of Animation and Page Assist and fixes an issue in 3D painting where you couldn't import meshes without normals.
Remember that all your custom brushes are available in the Classic Library by pinching the brush panel, or tapping the Procreate Library title.
